I mean I doubt they sign him, but he's only gotta beat out Hoyer, which is still an impossible task for the Hack.

But gently caress, we had Ryan Lindley for a cup of coffee, go for it Bill, i want to see Hack in the preseason.

The Colts actually spent a decent amount of draft picks and cash on OL trying to upgrade it. It just didn't work because Grigson is bad and everyone was either a bust or got hurt all the time.

Fair enough, I'm willing to admit that this reduces culpability. In that case I suppose a harsh, uncaring God is to blame.

Yeah I'm really not seeing it. Hoyer's no superstar but he's good enough to play in the NFL, score points and sometimes even win games. Hack should count himself lucky that he made any money at all from the NFL and just call it quits.

Although I do love the idea of him playing in a game when two QBs go down and then things get out of control, players on the sidelines, coaches, referees, security guards all getting punished in the stones by errant Hack throws

Hackenberg made his preseason debut on August 27, 2016 during the third preseason game against the New York Giants, where he completed 6 out of 16 passes for 105 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also played in the preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 1, 2016, where he was 11 for 31 with 54 passing yards and an interception returned for a touchdown.
...
Hackenberg started two preseason games and played in all four. In the first game against the Tennessee Titans, he was 18 of 25 for 127 yards and averaged 5.1 yards per attempt. Hackenberg got the start against the Detroit Lions in the second game and went 2 of 6 for 14 yards before being replaced by Petty in the first half. He also started in the Jets' third preseason game at the New York Giants, posting stats of 8/15 for 60 yards, and two pick sixes. He was replaced by Petty in the second half, but later returned after Petty was injured. In his second stint in the game, Hackenberg went 4 of 6 with a touchdown against the Giants' backups. Hackenberg came in for McCown in the final game against the Eagles. He finished 10 of 22 for 105 yards and a touchdown.

Total stat line: 59/121, 531 yards, 3 TDs and 4 INTs for a whopping 55.5 QB rating.

Slowly losing his mind:

quote:

Before Bill Belichick canceled the New England Patriots' final two voluntary organized team activities this week, he transformed parts of Gillette Stadium into a real-life "Back to the Future" movie.

Specifically, Belichick made Tuesday a wide-ranging history lesson on the roots of football, essentially creating an environment in which players were going back in time. That, of course, meant that there were leather helmets on the practice field, digital clocks covered up in the team meeting room, black-and-white recordings of old football plays shown, and a no-frills lunch menu that resembled what players in the 1930s and 1940s might have eaten (e.g., hamburgers and hot dogs rather than sushi).

I'd love to be there when someone mentioned to Belichick if he wants to be accurate that all the black players would have to be barred from the facility.

https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/_mobileview/news/jeffrey-lurie-explains-the-details-of-the-super-bowl-ring

quote:

The 2017 Super Bowl Championship Ring is made of pure 10-karat white gold, adorned with a total of 219 diamonds and 17 rare green sapphires.

The Eagle head logo is displayed with 52 pavé-set diamonds, signifying a victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52.

The Lombardi Trophy contains 16 diamonds, one for each of the team’s 16 victories in the 2017 season.

The 13 diamonds at the base of the trophy represent a franchise-record-tying 13 wins in the regular season.

At the top of the Lombardi Trophy, three diamonds represent the three postseason victories. A sizeable marquise-cut diamond at the top of the trophy represents the first Super Bowl Championship.

The bezel of the ring features a waterfall of 127 diamonds, paying tribute to the "Philly Special.” The 127 diamonds represent the sum of the jersey numbers of the three players who handled the football after the snap on the fourth-and-goal play at the 1-yard line. Running back Corey Clement, No. 30, took the direct snap, flipped the football to tight end Trey Burton, No. 88, who rolled right, and threw a touchdown pass to quarterback Nick Foles, No. 9, for the touchdown.

The ring also boasts four green sapphires to represent the franchise’s 4 NFL Championships – in 1948, 1949, 1960, and now Super Bowl LII.

To honor the great Eagles fans, the ring includes a silhouette of Lincoln Financial Field as well as the title of the fight song, “Fly, Eagles Fly,” spelled out on the outer band of the ring.

To recall the “Underdog” theme that galvanized the team, the City of Philadelphia, and Eagles fans in the playoffs, a dog mask is inscribed on the inside of the ring for the players and coaches.

The bottom of the inside arbor is inscribed with each player’s signature – the first-time championship rings have ever featured engraved signatures.

A spectacular championship ring, it also includes the team’s central mantra from the season, “We All We Got, We All We Need.” The word “family” sits below the Super Bowl LII logo and serves as a reminder of the team’s commitment and dedication to each other.

Per the Review-Journal's Michael Gehlken, Bryant's imminent discipline is believed to pertain to the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Bryant, of course, missed all of 2016 due to substance-abuse-policy violations. Gehlken confirms any further substance-abuse infraction could cost Bryant another year, or longer. With ex-broadcaster Jon Gruden replacing Reggie McKenzie at the Raiders' personnel controls, Oakland dealt the No. 79 overall pick for Bryant in late April.

If that actually happens the Raiders just burned a third round pick on nothing right? Isn't this Bryant's last year of his rookie deal?

e: Or would he not get a year of service time if he's suspended the whole year and they'd still have him next year? Assuming if he gets suspended he would then not gently caress up and get reinstated and all.
